Auto-translated to English by AII live in a nice neighbourhood of our city. Have nice neighbours. But last Saturday we found out that our neighbour across the street had been lying dead in his house for 2.5 weeks, so there isn't much social contact. Hopefully more in 2025. Because I was really shocked by it.
